1 This is he, who was formed first by God, the father of the world, who was alone when created; she preserved him,
2 and led him out of his offense, and gave him the power to maintain all things.
3 After this, when the unjust man withdrew from her in his anger, he perished through anger by the murder of his brother.
4 Because of this, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, guiding the just by means of contemptible wood.
